Lowercase s01e01? (not S01E01)

Just wondering if there was a way to make the letters lowercase so it's the same as my sickbeard naming convention. I find lowercase easier to read, my eyes can separate between the numbers and letters faster.

I searched google and the forums but couldnt find the answer

I'd do it like this:

Code: Select all

{s00e00.lower()}

This works great, but I run into an issue...

My showname for this example is...

12 Monkeys - S01E01 - Splinter.mp4

If I try to rename that filename (of which the episode number correctly matches the show name already), nothing will change. The uppercase S01E01 will not rename to lowercase.


If the showname is different, (IE 12 Monkeys - S01E01 - Splin.mp4), it will rename to...

12 Monkeys - s01e01 - Splinter.mp4

...correctly renaming the show title and making the episode number lowercase.


How do I use FileBot to force rename shows that already have the correct show title?

I did some more experimenting & forum searching, and seem to have found a solution.


I am using a Windows 7 64bit system.

I was using the version of FileBot that is NOT identified as (platform) or (console). I needed to be using the (platform) version.

Here is the text that helped me...
FileBot [filebot.launcher.exe] will give the best user experience (Windows Look, Windows Shell MOVE/COPY, DirectX graphics pipeline, etc) while FileBot (platform) [filebot.laucher.platform.exe] will give the most platform-independent experience, and thus work around potential Windows issues... like DirectX not working via Remote Desktop, rename operations being ignored when only character casing is changed, modded Windows UI crashing Windows Swing LaF, missing support for Extended Attributes on FAT filesystems, etc. It'll also use the Java API for MOVE/COPY operations and not Windows Shell.
